First off, don’t count your chickens before they hatch….you aint a Ranger yet. Second, aspire to jump out of something a little better than a C-130…C-17, Sherpa, UH-60, anything is better than a C-130.

I’m in the military and with all due respect… That is most people in the military’s biggest pet peeve by saying you almost did such and such, it get’s very old hearing that. Sorry if you’re not like that but I’m just throwing it out there.

Quit saying you are GOING to do shit. Get the shit done, walk with some well EARNED swagger, and don’t brag about it.

You’re like the kid on the first day of rush saying he’s going to be the best pledge ever and wants to be hazed. You’re full of shit and have no idea.

I actively avoid telling people what I do in the Army. They get fixated on that instead of me. I’ll take the respect my peers choose to have for me. No one else knows what they’re talking about.

You can pick up the hardware at the PX for like $5. If you actually had it, you’d be at the bar telling chicks you’re a truck driver or whatever made up outlandishly unimpressive bullshit story you come up with on the fly. And they’ll still walk out with you cause the real you shows through.

Sorry. Walk in a bar with 30 pilots and it’s suddenly unimpressive. We make a game out of making up the most absurd shit. Girls see the underlying confidence/swagger. It’s funny as shit.

Don’t do shit for badges/tabs/awards. None of that shit means anything. There is nothing you can do in a couple months that makes you a lifelong bad ass. Go to schools to actually learn stuff you need to know to keep your troops alive.

Listen to him, he knows what he’s talking about… There is a reason you’ll never walk into a bar and see a ranger (or seal, etc) bragging about all the shit they’ve accomplished, it’s the ones who have accomplished nothing who try and make up for it with bullshit… IF, and a huge if, you have what it takes to make it through ranger school, I guaran fucking tee you will not come on this site and talk about what a bad ass you are…

Being a soldier NF. Your just a pawn to fulfill the 1% goals with the bullshit excuse that your serving your country. Stick to the law firm, squeeze our way into the government and send troops to war to make yourself richer. FaF
